Morganized Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 (edited) Is anyone familar with this release? The store where I saw it had it under Tommy Flanagan but AMG says it is a Coltrane release. Seems many of the tunes are Flanagan's. Is it any good? Looks like a good lineup. The players are........ Tommy Flanagan - Piano, Performer Louis Hayes - Drums Doug Watkins - Bass Kenny Burrell - Guitar, Performer John Coltrane - Sax (Tenor) Edited September 2, 2003 by Morganized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 It's co-led I guess, and a bit of a jam, but a very nice session. Each of the main soloists (Tommy, Trane, Kenny) have such a lyrical sound. . . . It's swinging beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Idrees Sulieman is also on trumpet. Personally, I think this session is underrated. The trio version of "How Long Has This Been Going On" is beautiful, and everyone cooks on the closing blues "Tommy's Time." I find myself pulling this one out often at times when I need to unwind.

jmjk Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 I like this session, and I've always thought of it as Flanagan's, not 'Trane's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 A superb session. This was originally a Tommy Flanagan date. Flanagan composed the four originals on the album and carries the ballad feature 'How Long Has This Been Going On' as a trio track. The album is also a not too frequent occasion to hear Idrees Sulieman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Yes, a very good one indeed! Nice to hear Sulieman in such stellar company. Flanagan's trio track "How Long Has This Been Going on" is stunning. He had such a nice touch! And Doug Watkins... words fail. That's a BASS-sound! ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Years and years ago-maybe within six months of my catching the jazz bug, I picked up this OJC. Ultimately didn't do enough for me and I sold it and haven't thought twice about it since. Til now, that is. This thread makes me seriously wonder whether this was another one I'll end up re-buying.
